Revised travel policy and procedures went into effect on 03/01/17. The new policy and procedures can be viewed on the Portal in the Board Policy, Section 6.13. The changes were required to bring us into compliance with Illinois Public Act 99-604, Local Government Travel Expense Control Act, as well as IRS guidelines for mileage reimbursements.
There is a new Travel Form for Faculty & Staff available in the Finance Department. This form is in effect for all travel on or after March 1, 2017. Please return old forms to Accounts Payable. If you submitted a pre-travel form on the old form for travel after March 1st, please contact Jill Whitney or Cheryl Sneed. Any new travel reimbursement request for travel after March 1, 2017 must be submitted on the new form. If you have any other questions regarding the new travel form please contact Cheryl Sneed or Jill Whitney.
The Mileage Report form for mileage reimbursement has also been updated to reflect the changes in our travel policy and procedures. The new form is available in the Finance Department or a PDF version is on the Finance Department Portal page in Accounts Payable Documents. A fillable form will be available on the portal soon. The new Mileage Report form is for mileage on or after March 1st. If you have any questions regarding the Mileage Report form please contact Cheryl Sneed or Jill Whitney.
Please note that the reimbursement rate for travel in a personal vehicle is now dependent upon the request of and the availability of a college-owned vehicle (see the Guidelines for Travel and Mileage Reimbursement General Guidelines for details and exceptions). The link to the Vehicle Request form is on the Finance Department Portal page. Please refer any questions regarding the Vehicle Request form to either Rachel Patarozzi or Sarah Goodman.
We understand that there will be questions as we get accustomed to the new procedures. The Finance Department is here to assist you.
